The game uses a side-scrolling, multi-plane track view where you move forward while avoiding obstacles and fighting rival skaters. Controls center on movement, jumping, attacking, and character-specific special moves. Some sections reward speed, while others emphasize knocking opponents down or forcing them into bad positions. Progress is stage-based, and later matches become more aggressive, demanding better lane choice, timing, and spacing.
Rollergames is a 1989 arcade action-sports title from Konami based on the televised roller derby show of the same name. Players choose one of six skaters and battle through fast, rough matches that mix racing, wrestling throws, jumps, and special attacks. Its multi-lane scrolling tracks and team-based confrontations gave it a distinct arcade identity and made it a memorable licensed release of the era.
Six selectable skaters
Players choose from six skaters, each with slightly different attributes and presentation.
Stay near open lanes or the inner line to avoid getting trapped. Use jumps and short bursts to create space before committing to attacks. Whenever possible, knock enemies into hazards or off balance rather than trading hits head-on. Learning each track’s turns and obstacle placement is key to consistent progress.
